No idea if they're doing anything else, but Regulations are coming to Canada to play the A Varning From Montreal Festival V on November 5.

Sista Sekunden update (+ more)

Swedish hardcore act Sista Sekunden will be releasing a new 7" single in May and will be celebrating will a fully stacked show on the 7th at KB in Malmö featuring Regulations, Night Fever, Bäddat För Trubbel, Hårda Tider and Tysta Mari. Not to be missed, obviously.

In related news, Andy from Sista Sekunden's other band Terrible Feelings have recorded a bunch of new stuff and have a number of new releases on the way. First is a single on German label Sabotage Records in cooperation with vocalist Manuela's own Lack Of Sleep imprint featuring "Impending doom" b/w "Death to everyone". They've also got another 7" coming via Timmeheiehumme Records (also German) featuring "Tied up" b/w "No meaning" as well as a CD coming out in Japan through Donut Pop that has six new songs recorded for it so far and will possibly (probably?) feature more.

MP3: Regulations - Baghdad beach party

Got the new Regulations LP "To be me" in the mail yesterday and it's pretty sweet, just like I expected. The bonus "Live radio EP" 7" that I picked up along with it is pretty damn good too, perhaps even a bit moreso than I anticipated. Regulations continue to deliver solid, tightly wound punk rock as always and once again they pull off the magic trick of sounding timeless. Classic sounds made fresh; it's a rare feat, especially when talking about a blueprint that was more or less codified and set in stone back in 80s. Whatever, here we are decades later and these dudes are nailing it. Witness "Baghdad beach party" with its ringing two-note melody and sardonic lyrics -- that's all you need.
